After spending the majority of his career working for international broking houses, Jonathan joined Bellrock in February 2019. He has a formidable reputation in both the construction industry and the construction insurance marketplace.
Jonathan has provided risk management advice, arranged placement of and been involved in claims across some of Australia’s largest construction projects. He leverages from his reputation, experience and expertise to obtain the best possible outcomes. His services extend to Contractors, Subcontractors, Developers and Property Owners.
Jonathan recognised a need for insurance advisors to shift their business model of trying to shoehorn clients in the Construction and Property Industry into a “one size fits all” advisory model to one which provides truly bespoke tailor made solutions. The construction industry is not like others. It has an evolving legal and contractual framework which is why when it comes to risk and insurance, it is so unique.
“Clients are different – they need advice and cover that meets their specific needs. Bespoke coverage takes time to develop. Risk evolves as the client and the insurance market changes. A specialist advisor will constantly monitor its clients’ risk, to adapt and balance cover in what is an ever changing insurance market”.
He feels strongly about clients rights to demand better service: “An advisor must be available to take calls and have appropriate resources when the client requires it. Whether it is a last minute certificate of currency, ad-hoc advice or a claim notification”.
Jonathan lives and breathes construction and property development. He believes enterprises in this space should be properly advised by REAL specialists, not large firms purporting to be so. That’s why to Jonathan, Bellrock is a perfect fit.
